Discover the Hose Stream 180 First Responder Steel-Tex Fire Shutter (SFS). This opening protective meets the requirement for a 3-hour fire protection rating, making it ideal for use in a 3- or 2-hour fire-rated wall or fire barrier assembly. Different from our standard Hose Stream 180 , this product features a First Responder Door for Ingress and Egress per NFPA 101.
Please see the below IBC Table regarding Opening Fire Protection Assemblies (Table 175.3).
2-Hour to 3-Hour Fire Resistant Curtains with Ingress & Egress
The Hose Stream 120 First Responder is used to protect openings for up to a 2-hour fire wall or fire barrier per IBC 715.3. Its defining feature is a First Responder Door for Ingress and Egress, which needs no fastener, magnet, or latch at the door opening. The weight of the fabric keeps the door closed, and it takes less than five pounds of force to open. There is a side hinge at the bottom bar that allows for the fabric to swing when force is applied.
The Hose Stream 120 First Responder is a deployable Steel-Tex fire shutter system with a standard fail-safe battery backup and options for leading-edge safety sensors. This shutter is composed of a wired reinforced Steel-Tex on a round steel tube in a fire-rated assembly. The Steel-Tex fire shutter remains retracted above the finished ceiling until activated by a fire alarm or smoke alarm. Once activated, the shutter descends at 6 inches per second, creating a smoke and fire barrier. The fire shutter can also be non-motorized when activated by a fusible link for smaller openings.

Hose Stream 180 First Responder Testing & Rating
Our innovative steel fiber fabric shutters were created to withstand the Hose Stream Test—a structural integrity test that defines safety measures in building materials. The Hose Stream 180 First Responder is tested in accordance to UL 10B and ASTM E2226 (Hose Stream Test) standards for 180 minutes.
When testing to meet these standards, we heat a product specimen in a testing furnace for the designated period of time (in this case, 180 minutes) and subject it to a 35 PSI hose stream or greater. This higher level of testing holds these textile shutters to elevated standards of safety and quality.
The Hose Stream 180 First Responder curtain is certified by Guardian for NFPA 252 Compliance and by Intertek as a UL864 Releasing Device USA & Canada 110V or 220V.
